My partner’s water broke 2 days prior to our arrival to the hospital. A staff member immediately treated my partner dismissively, informing us that there was no point in us having a car seat as we’d not see our baby for at least 3 days. Told us that doctors would maybe see us but if they had to see someone else they’d leave immediately without notice. My partner was worried about a cannula and the staff member just said it needed to be done so they'd just get it in. Then proceeded to stab the needle in the wrong area twice causing bruising in her hand.
We found this staff member to be abrupt, rude and careless.
